City walk
Eva-Lisa's Monument
Welcome to a city walk that highlights the lesbian activist and trans pioneer Eva Lisa-Bengtson (1931–2018). Based on a personal portrait, a picture is drawn of Stockholm's LGBTQ history, a vital community and a political and personal struggle at the same time.
We’ll trace her footsteps across Södermalm, visiting key locations that shaped Eva-Lisa’s life: Lesbisk Front at Hallandsgatan, the Women's House (Kvinnohuset) at Blekingegatan, Jerry’s Women’s Club (Jerry’s damklubb) at Folkungagatan, the Dutch Embassy at Götgatan, and the Transvestia venue at Östgötagatan, among others.
Guide
The city tour is created and led by the artist and writer Sam Hultin and is part of the project Eva-Lisa's Monument, which highlights Eva-Lisa's pioneering work.
